I have breast discomfort all during the month, in only one breast is this normal? I don't have lumps or any other symptoms like nipple discharge etc.. It sometimes feels like when you pull a muscle somewhere, but I realize there are not any muscles in the breast, but thats what it feels like most of the time, a pulled muscle, it will often feel heavy and like a sunburn pain occasially. It gets worse just before my period and goes away almost completely during the 5 days of my period and than after my period ends starts to bother again. My right breast is also a inch or so bigger than the left. Not sure why it's the right side only, if it were due to menstraution it would alternate I've been told. But I've always had problems with overies on my right side and my right side near the overie is where I get pains before and during my period. I'am 43 years old.

It would make sense that it might feel like a pulled muscle since that is what thre breasts are. A bundle of muscles. Depending on your cup size it could be just that a pulled muscle.
It could also be a fiberous cyst. It could also be an early stage breast cancer although I tend to doubt it. Stand naked in front of the mirror, do both your breasts look the same size and shape. If so then I would go with the cyst theory.
In any case a trip to the doctor is in order.

Yes, it can be normal to have only one breast to be swollen and painful especially if it comes and goes. Everyone has one breast that bothers them more and usually its the left.
Unfortunately you will need to have a mammogram and an Ultrasound to know for sure.
Having one ovary that bothers you has nothing to do with the breast except that they excrete estrogen and that is what makes the breast swollen and tender.
So, call your doctor and have that breast checked. The good news is around 50 your body starts running out of estrogen and your breast will stop bothering you. Good Luck.

no not normal.... it could be menepause. I would consult a doctor anyway. Even if it is menepause they can give you things to releave the symptoms.

If someone massaged them for you, would they feel better?
If you need volunteers, I am your first.
